Just ONE MORE HOUR!!!

I am sitting here feeling like a kid on Christmas morning. Presents staring them down, the desire to rip into them, but no...not just yet. My "present" is my husband who is driving to our home for his first time from Ft. Polk, Louisiana where he just got back from a year long deployment. He will be here in just one more hour!!!

I am glad we live in a quiet neighborhood where the neighbors do NOT just hangout their windows waiting to see the business of everyone else. Because, you see...I think my reaction to his pulling in the drive could easily be mistaken for an attack, although not violent at all!

So much has happened during this deployment, the least of which was NOT the birth of our little Joshua while my husband was gone. I can't imagine how it felt to be him; to miss out on Joshua's birth. I am grateful beyond all measure to God above for bringing Steve home and bringing us together again.

Thank you ALL so much for your prayers, support, encouragement, etc. during this past year. I don't know what we would have done without it.

Who is this random chick?!

Lover of My Hero, mama to my 5 Purplish Minions, daughter to Amazing Parents, sister to some Odd Ducks (but they are my ducks so back off), aunt to some even Odder Ducklings, and friend to many a Strange Goose. ...yes...those capitalized words are code names... I'm a deep thinker and even deeper feeler. I find freedom and strength in being vulnerable and real. I love a good cup of coffee, a better book, and quiet empty house on a rainy day...though I often get a cup of lukewarm coffee, a board book and a chaotic house. I have a propensity to break out in random accents while speaking, often to myself. I'm a work in progress, ever-changing, but constantly and fiercely loved by God. I hope you know that you are too.
